EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving from the 19th century, we are transported back in time to witness an ancient ritual. "Rhamses III Sacrificing" depicts a powerful scene of devotion and spirituality. The European School artist skillfully captures the essence of this historical moment. The image is part of "The Book of Perfumes" by Eugene Rimmel, a renowned authority on fragrances during that era. This particular edition was published in 1865 by Chapman and Hall. It serves as a visual representation of the importance placed on scents and perfumes in ancient Egyptian culture. Rhamses III, one of Egypt's most prominent pharaohs, takes center stage as he performs a sacrificial act. His regal presence exudes power and reverence for his gods. Surrounding him are symbols representing beauty products and care - an indication of the significance attributed to personal grooming even in those distant times. This print not only offers us a glimpse into history but also reminds us of the timeless allure associated with fragrances. It transports us to an era where scent played a vital role in rituals, daily life, and self-expression. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable artwork from their private collection for all to appreciate its historical value and artistic mastery. As we gaze upon it today, we can't help but marvel at how something as intangible as smell can connect us so deeply with our past.
